India clinched the series opener by five wickets inside 23 overs in a low-scoring contest, giving Shai Hope's side no chance after bowling them out for just 114 runs in 23 overs.

The visitors had a great outing in the Test series as well, winning the two-match assignment 1-0 after the second Test at the Queen's Park Oval ended in a draw with the final day of the game witnessing no play due to complete washout.

On the other hand, West Indies will be eyeing a comeback in the series with a promising performance to give the Indian side something to be challenged against in order to get a few positives out of this white-ball leg.

Both teams will also feature in the five-match T2OI series that is considered as the most perfect format for the home side of all, having won two T20 World Cups in 2012 and 2016.

Pitch Report


The track at the Kensington Oval is known to be a balanced one but a heavy amount of struggle was witnessed for the batters during the first ODI which turned out to be a low-scoring contest. Spinners are expected to get handy assistance due to the slowness of the surface and if the wicket remains the same as the first game then another low-scoring match could be on the cards.
